Far Flung with Saleem Reshamwala is a journey across the globe in search of the world's most surprising and imaginative ideas. It's not a travel show, exactly. It's a deep dive into the ideas that shape a particular spot on the map, brought to you by local journalists and creators. Weave through the streets of Bangkok with a motorcycle midwife. Time-travel with dinosaurs behind a hardware store in New Jersey. Meet a guy who dresses up as a luchador to protect citizens from traffic in Mexico City. Drop in, listen up, dig deep.

(And yes, we used to be called Pindrop!)

Mother-daughter duo Tish and Brandi Cyrus hop on their mics every Thursday to give you an inside look at Hollywood's craziest (and most fun, obviously) family. Each week, they rehash Cyrus family stories and share their hottest takes on pop culture and current happenings. Mama Tish is a wealth of wisdom and here to help you out with whatever it is you're going through in their Dear MT segment. Plus, for all the Cyrus vs. Cyrus fans out there, they've got a High Design segment to satisfy the interior designer in us all. Be sure to give us a follow and come along for the ride ... as always with this family, we have absolutely no idea where it's headed. Sorry ... We're Cyrus.

How Fear Changed America. First released in 2020, Homeland Insecurity is an 8-part documentary podcast from RAICES that chronicles the untold story of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). We go back to the beginning, when our government built a powerful new agency in the wake of 9/11 to protect America from terrorists—only to use that agency to terrorize immigrants. From family separation to federal agents deployed amidst protests against systemic injustices, the scope and cruelty of DHS continues to expand, begging the question: Is anyone safe?

Kelechi Okafor is the host of Say Your Mind. Tune in every Monday for her unique and hilarious take on Tarot, current events and pop culture sprinkled with bad language and an abundance of straws.

There are things we think we know about countries. But viral videos, TikTok and 24 hour news has made everything we understand about other places somewhat misinformed, twisted or just downright incorrect. 

Which is why, the hosts of Cerca's Passport, Neil Innes and Andrés Bartos, have decided to take this misinformation and turn it on its head, upside down, the wrong way round and inside out.

Neil and Dré want to clear up some of the outright lies about nations we think we know by doing what they do best. Talking it out with someone who actually does know what they’re talking about.

Think of this as a kind of cultural mythbusters.
